Cling to the Bible (Neal)

There’s a book which sur­pass­es the sag­es

A vol­ume of wis­dom di­vine

And the glo­ry that gleams from its pag­es

No splen­dor of earth can out­shine.

We’ll cling to the Bi­ble

Light of ev­ery land;

When foes shall as­sault

We’ll nev­er

nev­er fail

To de­fend it

heart and hand;

By the Bi­ble we will stand

Like a true and val­iant ar­my

At the Lord’s com­mand.

’Tis the light which will guide us to glo­ry

The sword of the Spir­it of might;

And to dwell on its beau­ti­ful sto­ry

Is of Heav­en the sweet­est de­light.

It re­veals where the fount­ain is flow­ing

Which wash­es the soul from its stain;

Age and sor­row are com­fort­ed know­ing

With earth they shall part with their pain.
